Thermostat, switch, and radiator

All right guys, who knows if there is a aftermarket thermo and switch for a 03 CL-S? Does the Mugen one for the older gen acuras or the RSX fit? Aftermarket radiators, Koyo, fluidyne, not in production? what else is there?

I know Mugen makes a t-stat, swith and rad cap that will fit the CL-S. Do a search.

It's also known as the Scalbert Cooling Mod.

Steve,
Will those be beneficial for Accord 02 V6?
Those parts numbers are the same for Accord except for FAN SWITCH.

They should. But why do you say the fan switch part is different. The one they have listed for the Accord I beleive is for the the 4-banger.

They list the following:
Fan Switch Accord 1992-2001
[37773-XGMR-0000]
$ 45.00


So they dont say it specifically 4-cyl only, however since you mentioned I guess thats the case (I can call them). Now, does AV6 required fan switch and what about if kingmotorsports dont have one for V6. Can I use the same # as for CL?

thanks

I assume it is the same but can't say for sure. It took me trial and error to find the right one's and it turned out to be the same for the TL.

Keeps the engine running cooler; closer to 180 F instead of 200 F.

I haven't applied this mod yet as you recommend for my S/C, but I'm still considering it. Can you think or know of any warranty issues this mod might cause with dealers?

BTW... thanks for doing all the research for this mod.

If you have a supercharger on your car you shouldn't be worried about this little mod....even if the dealer doesn't install it.
